thanks, scott

When I put in 52105122 for S/N it says not affected.
When I put in just 05122 then it says needs repair.

Question... What is the correct input length for the S/N?
There does not seem to be an error check just yes or no.

My trailer was built about 10/2005.

Am I safe or need repair?

That was on page 69, the response was that his refer is not affected -- I have not read to the end of this thread so perhaps the response (based on earlier info?) has been corrected, but it is affected.

Here are the affected models and SNs

I would not recommend that as a solution, since you are connecting 120V to a low voltage secondary. The insulation on the wiring on the transformer secondary side (6.3v-CT-6.3v) may not be sufficient for 120V. This could create an electrical hazard with all the associated risks: fire, electrocution etc.

My apologies if this has been commented on -- but I don't believe you are correct...
with the xfmr connected in bucking mode you are now dropping 113 volts across the heating element, and only the 6.3 volts across the transformer secondary. Should be no insulation problem.
